: The aim of the study was to evaluate the biochemical possibilities of converting waste lignocellulosic biomass to second generation bioethanol. Three substrates were used in the research: barley straw, rye straw and triticale straw. In the fi rst stage of the research bacterial strains capable of converting waste biomass to produce sugars used to produce energy-useful ethanol were selected. Of the eight strains isolated the three with the highest potential were selected on the basis of activity index value. The raw materials were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using the simultaneous saccharifi cation and fermentation method (SSF process). Based on the conducted research, it was found that the examined waste biomass is suitable for the production of cellulosic bioethanol. As a result of distillation 10% and 15% (v/v) ethanol was obtained, depending on the strain and the type of raw material. It was demonstrated that the bacterial strain had a greater impact on the eff ectiveness of the process than the type of straw used.

: Different types of organic waste can be used as fertilizers or soil improvers, but such materials are susceptible to chemical and biochemical decomposition, and their storage can entail a deterioration in their quality. Evaluation of the in fl uence of water content and ambient temperature on the chemical and microbiological properties of pelletized organo-mineral fertilizer produced on the basis of digestate from biogas plant and ashes from biomass combustion was the aim of the study. The results of the short (one month’s storage in the – laboratory silo) and long-term (one year’s storage in – unheated compartment) studies showed that the quality of the fertilizer depends on the temperature, fertilizer humidity, and air accessibility.

Zaghbani et al. (2007) have found that the retention of MB reached 99% when SDS surfactant was added as complexing agent. Also, other studies used the MEUF process (Aroua and Zuki 2007, Baek et al. 2003, Juang et al. 2003). On the other hand, polyoxometalates (POMs) are a large family of metal-oxide assemblies. They are constructed via the condensation of metal oxide polyhedral MO x (M=W, Mo, V, etc. and x=4–7) with each other (Miras et al. 2012, Han et al. 2014). Indeed, what contributes to POMs’ particularity is strong Brønsted acidity, strong oxidizing agents, a wide range of structures, combinations of metals and possible sizes, as well as a high solubility in water.

Bioaerosol measurements were made at four points (raw sewage inlet, aeration chamber, puri fi ed sewage outlet and 150 m from the treatment plant, at the background point) in the period from January to December 2018. Bioaerosol samples were collected using Andersen’s 6-stage cascade impactor. The tested atmospheric air was characterized by a qualitatively and quantitatively diverse micro fl ora.

The adsorption of lead ions onto a zeolite bearing tuff (stilbite) from synthetic acid aqueous solution and acid mine drainage taken from Sasa mine, Macedonia, is elaborated in this paper. The results present that adsorption occurs effi ciently in both of cases. The physical and chemical properties of the used natural material, zeolite bearing tuff, are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy. The concentration of metal ions in solution before and after treatment is obtained by AES-ICP. The effectivity of zeolite bearing tuff is determined through a series of experiments under batch conditions from single ion solutions, whereby the main parameters are the effects of initial pH of solution, mass of adsorbent, initial metal concentration in solution, contacting time and competing cations. The maximum capacity of zeolite bearing tuff for removal of lead ions from solution is determined by equilibrium studies. The experimental obtained data are fi tted with Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models. The experimental data are better fi tted with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Zeolite bearing tuff is effective adsorbent for treating acid mine drainage. The results showed that 99% of lead ions are removed from acid mine drainage, i.e. the concentration of lead ions from 0.329 mg/dm3 decrease to 0.002 mg/dm3. The pH value of acid mine drainage from 3.90 after treatment with zeolite bearing tuff increases to 5.36. 88 A. Zendelska, M. Golomeova, B. Golomeov, B. Krstev Material and methods Analytical methods Particle characterization reveals information on the physical and chemical nature of zeolite bearing tuff particles, which is related to its ability to remove lead ions from solution. The used adsorbent, zeolite bearing tuff, was studied using X-ray Diffractometer 6100 from Shimadzu to investigate the mineralogical structure of the sample. This technique is based on observing the scattering intensity of an X-Ray beam hitting a sample as a function of incident and scattered angle, polarization, and wavelength or energy. The diffraction data obtained are compared to the database maintained by the International Centre for Diffraction Data, in order to identify the material in the solid samples. The surface morphology of sample was studied using a scanning electron microscope, VEGA3 LMU. This particular microscope is also fi tted with an Inca 250 EDS system. EDS stands for Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, it is an analytical technique used for the elemental analysis of a sample based on the emission of characteristic X-Rays by the sample when subjected to a high energy beam of charged particles such as electrons or protons.
